time makes you bolder,
children get older.
I'm getting older too.

She looks in the mirror
At the age on her face
"I wonder what he thinks
of me this way?"

She considers her weight
and the pores on her skin
She thinks out loud
"I don't deserve him."

She picks apart
the woman he loves
Separating her worth
from all that she does
              
He looks in her eyes
and caresses her face
He sees it glowing with love
and full of grace

 The lines on her face
  he views with pride
  Recounting the victories
  each time they've been tried

The weight that she carries
 is that of a mom
 Nothing's too heavy
 She just marches on

These bodies will perish
 and mirrors offer no truth
True love abides
 beyond the corridors of youth

  No, she doesn't deserve me
  Perhaps God can see
  Conceivably, one day
  I'll be as worthy as she

I write about you not because i miss you,
But because you are one of the best lessons I've ever learned.
I just want to clear the air,
I don't need you.

I dont want you.
You've done your job,
You left your mark,
Now leave me in peace.

Just because you cross my mind every so often,
Doesnt mean much.
We all have those days,
When things come back into play in our minds.

It's just to remind us where we once were.
To remind us where we started,
Where we started to let our minds be beautiful,
Beautiful as the heart of the ones who love in a cruel world.

I don't write about you because i miss you.
I write about you to tell the world that it's okay.
It's okay to love, trust, and get hurt,
and it's okay to keep loving, and to keep trusting.

Yesterday's Dreams

She rode in over the horizon on a chariot dipped in memories , and a horse named "Yesterday's Dreams".
On a wave wave of innocence
That formed a bridge out of the face of the clouds.
I look to her with the eyes of the young man that saw her first .
And for a moment , the sun , the moon , and the earth ,
Reverse .
To catch up with the decades old dream.
That seems to be rolling in over the horizon
And into the heart of a dreamer.

Missed moments

I'll  never see the rainbow if i don't look over the horizon after it rains , the inverted spectrum of a smiling sky.
Never to be beheld , had I not looked through the clouds as they dissipated.
Like the  smile on your face , after I tell you I love you
I don't wanna miss a moment
To tell you I love you

I'll miss the shooting stars slicing through the midnight sky like a razor though paper dipped in darkened blue, if I didn't take the time to look to heavens in the darkness.
The same stars I see the moments our lips touch in each and every time we kiss.
I don't wanna miss a moment
To kiss you

I'd never get to hear the morning choir , the birds , calling out to one another in song,natures wake chime ,no , I'd never gotten to hear if I didn't just stop and simply listen.
Like the sound of your voice ,an angels whisper , the music to my very soul.
I don't wanna miss a moment
To talk to you.

Moments, any free moment , is a moment I can fill with you, a phone call, a kiss, a cuddle , a thinking of you , an ode , like cars on a train , filled or not they still pass by, and I don't wanna waist a moment.
I didn't wanna miss a chance.
To spend that " time " with you.
I don't wanna miss a moment,
I don't wanna miss a moment to love you.
Because any moment without you ,to me is a moment waisted , and a moment I could have shown you love ..
Missed moments

Begins

My heart beats to the harmony of your own , an echo to which
my time itself ticks.
Each breath , invigorating ,filled  loving aura.
My eyes , they open in mesmerization of your enchanting beauty , and I can't help but then behold everything through the love painted reflection that you have created.
I drink each day from the cup of your affection , the breeze carries the scent of your skin ,I close my eyes again just to feel you with my senses.
You are my waking moment
You are my every tomorrow
Their is no future without "us "
Because .....
My future begins every next moment you are.
